COMMENTS
: In the original description the
type
was said to be in the Rothschild Collection. This specimen is in female plumage and matches the description; it is apparently the only such specimen collected by Bonny. It is marked ‘‘Type’’ and bears a Rothschild
type
label. See above for the description of the male and information on the collecting locality.
